Dogs are able to recognize over 150 words. According to a study published in the journal Science, dogs’ brains process words in a similar way as human brains. For example, when you say ‘Good boy!’ to your dog, the left and right side of the brain work together to find the word meaning. One side focuses on the word itself, the other side on the emotion (which it determines based on intonation; how you say the word). The reward center of the dog’s brain is only activated when both sides agree the word means praise.
